Story
All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, shots current (DHPP, Bordetella and Rabies where applicable), dewormed, flea and tick treated, and microchipped. * If you are interested in a dog, please first read the biography on the dog (keep scrolling down for the bio!) and then go to our website, www.dpsrescue.com for an application. Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.This dog will be at Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday June 29th from 12-3pm or until adopted. If you would like the first opportunity to adopt, please fill out an application to be considered. Adoption Fee: $600 Pesto is a 4 month old Dachshund x Basenji mix who is serving up cuteness and puppy kisses! Pesto came to us with his brothers and sisters, but he is now a solo dude looking for his forever family! We promised the wait would be beyond worth it for him. These babies came to us with Mama Pasta from a hoarding situation with 12 other dogs. We arrived expecting a few adults and instead were met with puppies, Mama, and their friends. Well, we refused to leave anyone behind so these babies came with us and started their new lives! We expect Pesto to be in the 15-17 pound range when he reaches his adult weight, as he weighs 10 pounds as of May 30. Pesto is a confident and charismatic puppy who leads the pack in zoomies and snuggles. One minute, he is chasing his sisters across the yard and the next he is crashing into your lap for cuddles. Pesto is a true gentleman who loves to give kisses to his admirers, winning even the staunchest #TeamCat people over to #TeamDog! With his soulful eyes, wagging tail, and adorable little body, Pesto promises you will fall in love with him faster than you can say P(r)esto! Pesto is a favorite of the rescue, as we have found it impossible to resist his loving personality and ability to pose for the camera! Can you say, future model? He can rock any accessory, which makes him an amazing fashionista for anyone lucky enough to adopt him. Pesto is also super smart and food motivated, so we know he will be the top pupil at any training course he enters. You truly won’t find a more amazing companion than our fabulous Pesto! Pesto sleeps overnight in his crate until around 7 AM when his foster parents start their day. He heads straight outside to the backyard for potty and playtime with toys and zoomies; then he has breakfast and lounges in sun puddles. Pesto enjoys car rides, on-leash walks in the neighborhood, and outdoor restaurant lunch dates with his foster mom. He is almost fully potty trained. During the midday Pesto naps in his pen while their foster parents work. When everyone comes home, he heads back outside for more playtime. Pesto LOVES the backyard. He has dinner at 6 PM followed by romping and playtime in the kitchen while his foster parents cook dinner. Pesto's favorite thing is spending the evening snuggling on the couch next to his foster parents and watching TV until bedtime at 10 PM. Pesto lives with a large breed dog and 2 cats and does very well with all animals. Pesto will need continued socialization and training to ensure he is a confident and curious adult. Pesto would love a yard and a companion in his new home but could thrive in any environment as long as he has love and affirmation! Pesto promises to bring fabulous culinary adventures to his forever home! Pesto is an option for homes with prior dog experience, even if that experience is less recent. Kids in the home should be over the age of 5.July 13, 2024, 10:52 am
